The Story of the Wind Wanderer

The Story of the Wind Wanderer
On Snow #63


Bianca remained silent as long as the Altezza told her of her decision and her plan to leave the kingdom and the country, venturing into distant places. The initial reaction shown by Bianca when she heard this was certainly surprised and unexpected. When Altezza finished speaking and there was a time and a moment for Bianca to ask, she immediately used her opportunity to speak.


"What is your purpose and reason, Your Majesty? You seem very interested in being able to travel" said Bianca, turning her head and looking gently at the man standing right next to her.


Altezza smiled at the question, a question he found difficult to answer. The man looked up at the not-so-bright, cloudy sky and smiled before speaking up about the answers to the two questions.


"Destination? Honestly, I don't have a definite purpose, because the purpose of the journey usually appears in the middle of the journey." The man spoke, then turned his head, looked warmly and smiled at the woman standing beside him as he continued to speak, "but obviously I will travel between the West and the East, depends on how my final decision is at the end of this winter."


"Then for a reason" Altezza said again, looking out at the frozen lake in front of him and then saying, "I want to learn and know things, moreover, being a wanderer is an experience that I have never had in my entire life, so at least I want to have it even if at least once."


Bianca looked in the same direction as Altezza, smiled slightly and then said, "back to your original question of questioning my opinion, I think His Majesty will understand the reason you gave."


Sighing in relief, it was done by Altezza after hearing Bianca's opinion regarding his doubts over the king's decision whether to allow himself to wander or not.


"After all, being a traveler is one of the ideals that I think is very valuable, because we can explore various places, get a lot of new experiences, new friends, new knowledge and knowledge, and so on, and there are still many things that are difficult to describe with words," said Bianca looked towards the frozen lake, and was seen smiling as she spoke. While Altezza can only be silent, especially when watching a happy expression that is very visible on the beautiful face of Bianca.


"I myself support your decision, as long as it is good for you too, Your Majesty," continued Bianca, turning her head and smiling broadly to Altezza.


Altezza smiled, feeling familiar with those words. The man turned his head, looked at the beautiful face that looked cheerful and was so enthusiastic in supporting his decision, "thank you, Bianca" he said.


"For?" sahut Bianca, staring with a puzzled expression.


Turning his gaze back towards the frozen lake, Altezza replied, "this is the first time in my life to have a conversation with a woman other than a servant in the palace."


"really?! You're really covered up, aren't you, Your Majesty?" cetus Bianca, apparently not believing what he heard.


Not wrong, Altezza laughed at what Bianca said, "being part of the palace is not as beautiful as others imagine," he said later.


"In addition to responsibilities, there are many rules, customs, provisions, terms, and various restrictions that must be adhered to by the royal family, including myself. With so many things that are very restrictive, of course, it makes me very rarely have free time like today, this is also because the beginning of winter," continued Altezza, looked very serious when pouring out his heart, told Bianca who seemed to carefully listen and pay attention to herself.


"Therefore I would like to feel freedom, and to know everything that is out there" the young prince continued, looking up at the cloudy sky, ending his sentence.


"Why? Is it because I'm a prince?" sahut Altezza, smiling faintly, glanced at Bianca who was standing beside him.


"I think you're a unique prince, Your Majesty." Bianca immediately tended to look down, and smiled slightly as she gave the answer.


"Unique ...?!" muttered Altezza, looking confused to hear this.


Bianca let out a chuckle and saw Altezza's confusion over what he meant, "forgive me if I am presumptuous, Your Majesty. But in my eyes you are very different from the princes of the kingdoms out there."


"What difference?" altezza asked, apparently still do not understand what the words of Bianca mean.


"Come away!" sahut Bianca, turning his head, smiled until his neat white teeth were seen and then continued to say, "maybe someday you will understand yourself," ended with a little laugh.


"Bikin was confused," muttered Altezza, folding both of his arms, and glancing suspiciously at the woman beside him. Yet Bianca only laughed, abstruse with her ripple, let alone looking at the prince's confused expression.


Their conversation continues very fun, not even rarely Bianca or Altezza itself triggers some topics and jokes that invite laughter. Not only the dock that became the place or witness the ridiculous topics of the two of them. The two of them also had time to walk on the thick snow on the edge of the frozen lake, even several times Bianca played the snow, formed a ball and threw it towards Altezza, Altezza, and vice versa.


After playing around with those soft and cold snows, and remembering the time that was slowly getting noon. A gentle gentle gust of wind was slowly felt, and not long after the white horse of the young prince walked up from among the dense trees covered in snow.


"He came by himself?!" cetus Bianca, seemed surprised and amazed to see a horse that went and came by itself when needed by his master, Altezza.


Altezza smiled slightly and replied, "how, cool, right?!" while walking closer to his horse that is very obedient to him, especially when he touched the horse's head.


Bianca still looks amazed by the horse, and approached him and also touched the head of the white horse. When Altezza confirmed the saddle on his horse, he suddenly flashed the idea, "Bianca, you've never ridden a horse, have you?" he asked, turning to Bianca who looked cool stroking soft white hair that was long enough on the horse's head.


"Yes, Your Majesty. What's wrong?" bianca replied, still looking engrossed, not even glancing or staring at the man.


"How about our trip to the capital, this horse you ride?" cetus Altezza, then turned his head, and smiled faintly at Bianca.


"I?!"
